Strategy & performance analysis
The Sonic AI Research Desk produces and reviews educational content related to trading performance, risk, drawdown, leverage and MyFXBook verification.
Performance figures attributed to Sonic AI are checked against the same publicly accessible MyFXBook account before publication. The Research Desk also reviews articles for consistency with the site's risk disclosure and updates time-sensitive figures when the underlying public record changes.
Content published by the Research Desk is educational and does not constitute personal financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Sonic AI historical performance figures trace back to one publicly accessible MyFXBook account. They are read from that record, not from internal reports or backtests, and are re-checked before an article is published or updated. Market data, broker terms and illustrative calculations come from other sources and are identified separately.
Primary sources are the public MyFXBook record, broker documentation and the service information published on this site. Where a figure is derived (for example an amplified drawdown estimate), the calculation and its assumptions are stated in the article itself.
Articles must state the risk alongside the return, avoid implied guarantees, and stay consistent with the site's risk disclosure. Trading leveraged products involves a high risk of loss; nothing published here is personal financial advice.
